McKinsey advice on rainforest schemes fundamentally flawed

Basic errors in McKinsey-influenced national plans

7 April, 2011

A new Greenpeace report, Bad Influence, has revealed how advice given by global consultancy firm McKinsey to national governments could lead to an increase in the destructive logging it is intended to prevent.

As two former McKinsey executives face accusations of insider trading in the US, the report raises further questions about the consultancy giant, examining the damaging influence of McKinsey’s advice on rainforest nations’ forest protection plans. McKinsey is the market leader in advising national governments on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD+) programmes, yet its advice has played a key role in distorting this process to a point where donor money could be used to subsidise the expansion of the logging industry.
